Guacamole Salad

Inspired by how this mama makes her guacamole, here's a salad version of one of my favorite dips!  Romaine lettuce topped with sliced tomato, onion, and avocado and drizzled with a cilantro lime dressing.  And don't forget the feta! (Which is absolutely a part of my guacamole recipe... sounds strange?  Try it next time!  You're welcome in advance...)
